SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body's natural repair response to build new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, more even skin that keeps improving for months after treatment.
Most patients see the strongest results after 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance 1–2 times a year.
Softens depressed and textured scars over a series
Refines rough texture and the look of enlarged pores
Firms and smooths as new collagen forms
Restores brightness and overall skin quality
While noticeable improvements can be seen after a single session, a series of three treatments spaced about 30 days apart is often recommended for optimal results.
Most patients report minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
We recommend waiting 48 hours before applying makeup after microneedling. This gives your skin time to recover and helps reduce irritation.
It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy sweating for 72 hours after treatment, since heat, sweat, and increased blood flow can make skin feel more irritated.
Yes. SkinPen is considered safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI for treatment of facial acne scars, and its clinical studies included patients ranging from light to dark skin.
Common side effects include temporary redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolve within 24 hours.
Improvements can often be observed within a week, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen remodeling occurs.
